Octagoncito (born April 24, 1974) is a Mexican Luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, who works in the Mini-Estrellas ("Mini-Stars") division on the Mexican Independent circuit. He is the first wrestler to work as Octagoncito, with Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) giving the same ring character to a second Octagoncito when the original one left the promotion in 1995. Octagoncito's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.[3] In addition to working for AAA Octagoncito has also worked for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Lucha Libre USA, World Wrestling Federation (WWE), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and a slew of smaller wrestling promotions. Working in the Mini division does not necessarily mean that Octagoncito has dwarfism, as short wrestlers can also work in the "Mini" division.[4]

Key Information

Professional wrestling career

[edit]

In 1989 Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) created the wrestling character Octagón, a masked Mexican Ninja character that immediately became very popular with the audience, especially children.[2] When CMLL started up their Mini-Estrellas division they created a number of Mascota characters, smaller versions of their well known wrestlers, one such Mascota was Octagoncito, created to play off the popularity of the regular sized competitor.[1] Early in his career Octagoncito competed in the tournament to crown the first ever CMLL World Mini-Estrella Champion, losing in the second round to Espectrito.[5] When Mini-Estrella creator Antonio Peña left CMLL in mid-1992 to for a new promotion called Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), Octagoncito and a number of other wrestlers and Mini-Estrellas left with Peña for AAA.[6] On March 26, 1994 Octagoncito defeated Jerrito Estrada to win the Mexican National Mini-Estrella Championship.[7] A few weeks later, on April 26, he competed in his first major AAA event, competing at Triplemanía II-A, AAA's biggest show of the year. Mascarita Sagrada, Octagoncito and Super Muñequito defeated Espectrito, Jerrito Estrada and Fuercito Guerrera by disqualification.[8] His run with the Mexican National Mini-Estrellas Championship lasted 112 days, until July 16, 1994 where Fuercita Guerrera won the championship.[7] At some point in the next year or two Octagoncito also won the IWC Mini-Estrellas Championship, although records are not clear on exactly when.[9] On May 31, 1995 he wins his highest profile Luchas de Apuestas, or bet match, where he put his mask on the line against the hair of his opponent Especrito. Octagoncito won the match and kept his mask safe while Espectrito was shaved bald after the match.[1][10] Octagoncito and his fellow Mini-Estrellas competed in the main event of Triplemanía III-A, a 13-man Steel Cage Elimination match where the last person in the cage would be forced to unmask under Lucha de Apuesta rules. The match included Octagoncito, Bandita, Espectrito I, Espectrito II, Jerrito Estrada, Fuercita Guerrera, Mascarita Sagrada, Mini Calo, La Parkita, Payasito Azul, Payasito Rojo, Super Muñequito and Torrerito. In the end Payasito Rojo was forced to unmask.[11]

By 1995 Octagoncito and AAA management had a falling out and Octagoncito left the promotion, but took the name, the mask and the image of Octagoncito with him. He briefly worked for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the United States, including a match at the 1996 Starrcade where he teamed with Mascarita Sagrada to defeat Jerrito Estrada and Piratita Morgan in a dark match before the Pay-Per-View portion of the show. in 1997 he began working for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), working as "Mosaic", teaming with and facing off against Mini-Estrellas from AAA. His first major appearance as Mosaic at the WWF PPV Badd Blood: In Your House, teaming with Tarantula, losing to Max Mini and Nova.[12] At the 1998 Royal Rumble Mosaic teamed with former opponents Max Mini and Nova to defeat the trio of Battalion, El Torrito and Tarantula.[13] He later returned to Mexico wrestling as Octagoncito, causing some confusion as AAA had introduced a different wrestler as Octagoncito as well. Over the years Octagoncito worked for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), CMLL and number of special appearances for various independent wrestling promotions. The WWF, now called World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) reviewed their Minis division in 2006, bringing in Octagoncito as one of their competitors in the short lived revival. On August 2, 2009 Octagoncito defeated Piratita Morgan to win the WWA World Mini-Estrellas Championship, a title he would hold for 1040 days straight, losing it to Mascarita Platita in 2011.[14] On September 20, 2009 he defeated Espectrito to win the reactivated NWA World Minis Championship on a Pro Wrestling Revolution show. Later on PWR withdrew from the National Wrestling Alliance, remaining the championship the PWR World Minis Championship.[15] In 2011 and 2012 he worked for Lucha Libre USA, appearing on both seasons of their MTV2 show, often wrestling in mixed matches against both Mini-Estrellas and women at a time against regular sized competitors as well.

Professional wrestling career

Debut and early career in CMLL

Octagoncito, the original wrestler to perform under that name, debuted in professional wrestling on November 25, 1990, at Arena México for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). He was created as the mascota (mini version) of the established luchador Octagón, participating in CMLL's emerging Mini-Estrellas division. In February 1992, CMLL organized a tournament to determine the inaugural CMLL World Mini-Estrella Champion. Octagoncito advanced through the quarterfinals on February 16, 1992, but was eliminated in the semifinals on February 23, 1992, losing to Espectrito in a best two out of three falls match at Arena México. Mascarita Sagrada ultimately won the tournament and the championship by defeating Espectrito in the final on March 1, 1992. Later in 1992, Octagoncito joined the group of wrestlers who departed CMLL as part of the exodus led by Antonio Peña to establish the competing promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA).

Tenure in AAA

Octagoncito joined Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) in 1992 as part of the mass exodus of wrestlers from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) following AAA's formation. On March 26, 1994, he won the Mexican National Mini-Estrella Championship by defeating Jerrito Estrada, holding it for 112 days before losing to Fuercita Guerrera on July 16, 1994. He participated in several high-profile AAA events during his tenure, including Triplemanía II-A on April 26, 1994, where he teamed with Mascarita Sagrada and Super Muñequito to defeat Espectrito, Fuercita Guerrera, and Piratita Morgan in a six-person tag match that ended in disqualification. On June 10, 1995, he competed in the 13-man steel cage Lucha de Apuestas match at Triplemanía III-A, an elimination bout where all participants risked their masks. His most notable achievement in AAA came on May 31, 1995, when he defeated Espectrito I in a mask vs. hair Lucha de Apuestas match at a live event in Veracruz, forcing Espectrito to have his head shaved. Octagoncito departed AAA around 1995 following a falling out with management and was absent from regular bookings for many years, though he retained the Octagoncito name, mask, and character for subsequent appearances. AAA later reused the Octagoncito name for different wrestlers. He has since made sporadic appearances in AAA events, including in the Mini-Estrellas division in recent years (as of 2025).

Independent circuit work

After leaving Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) in 1995, Octagoncito shifted his career to the Mexican independent circuit. He participated in brief runs with Promo Azteca in 1996 and 1998. He has since functioned as a freelancer on the independents, with special appearances including those for the International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG). He continues to work sporadically, remaining active as of 2026 with frequent matches in Mexico (including AAA) and occasional US appearances.

International appearances

Octagoncito has made notable appearances in promotions outside Mexico, including in the United States and Japan. In 1996, he worked for World Championship Wrestling (WCW), competing in a dark match at Starrcade 1996 where he teamed with Mascarita Sagrada against Jerrito Estrada and Piratita Morgan. He also appeared on an episode of WCW Monday Nitro that year. Between 1997 and 1998, Octagoncito performed in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) under the ring name Mosaic (also occasionally referred to as Astrito). His appearances included a match at Badd Blood: In Your House and participation in events around Royal Rumble 1998. He returned briefly in 2006 as part of a minis division revival, working matches on WWE Raw, SmackDown!, and Velocity.
